Today was pretty tired from the chalet cos it was so darn cold and there weren't blankets, so I decided to sleep. Or rather tried to. In the end just lay there till I saw fit to get up and read.
Well Day 1 (11th) was a pretty interesting day filled with coincidences. Went down early to book into the chalet, then snuck Sixu and Yihang into the Changi Beach CLub (CBC) Using me and Shawn as cover, we acted like we were supposed to be there and sauntered in. Amazingly, our Changi Chalet wasn't the creepy rathole with demonic bug manifestations and suicides (more on that later*) we had for our CCA Chalet, but, quite literally, next door to CBC. And also across the road from Old Changi Hospital...whooo~
We went to the alley to play a few games but we didn't bring socks. Anyways, by some divine twisting of fate of whatever, our J2 seniors(Stef, Avi/Honeybunny, Kenneth(Big), Mason, Gavin) came down that exact same day! What are the chances of that? They were playing pool in the next room. What are the chances of that? Well, we chatted a bit, then returned to the chalet so as not to pangseh the rest too much.
All they did was talk and play mahjong and cards. I still think it'd have been a lot more fun if we held it at Downtown East, even if we got a stupid room instead of an entire house...=\ So we had a little bit of chaos shooting cards about(I shot Sixu in the eye. Sorry!), assaulting each other with various weapons like pillows and blankets.
Mr President, Sir! I believe I know where are the weapons of mass destruction!
CBC just next door...

First BBQ pic. Adding of charcoal. At first there wasn't many but we managed to get everyone down for the BBQ, instead of sitting about watching TV and munching our sweat, slightly bloody chicken wings, and tears.
"Nooo, don't eat meeee!" -Baby Octopus on a stick
"See, heres howya do it boys! You jus' gotta stcik this here satay stick in yer mouth, and you'll make a pretty darn goooood chef like me," -Chef JJ
Otahs well done till the banana leaf's burnt off.
I also made a lamp chop myself. It was DEEEEEElicious. I forgot to take a pic of it. It was sweet and flavourful. finished it before I remember to get a picture. Here's one Nic Tan and I made. Still as yummy. =D
The rest playing bridge.
Making drunken chicken. Quite literally.
"Our special 4I'06 brand chicken wings are specially stabbed through and through and then dipped in 100% Carlsberg beer before barbecueing. This allows the taste to seep in and maintain its flavour while simmering within."
Post-BBQ fun.
The void adfter everyone who couldn't stay left. It was technically Guys Night then.
Suspicious pink stain found on the sheets. My mp3 also screwed up that night. Retarded, considering I just got it. Everything jammed. Permanently on, since there was no removable battery. I was highly pissed off. I also must mention Zijie found a Creative Zen V plus (4GB) and a Nokia 6111 and more than $167 in a wallet at the Daytona machine in an arcade. Some people have all the luck...=[ BUT! He lost his phone 1 year ago at a daytone machine too lol.
The eternal flame. Created by smoke from this cinder luther was holding. Looks pretty cool.
Rapid cooling of the pit.
Boiling Honey in the pit...yecch. It STANK. =X
Watching beach volleyball at 1:16am. Lol.
Marcus with his amusing towel choice.
I'm lazy to spellcheck such a long post so, sorry. :) Anyway we also engaged in various dangerous activities such as coal tossing (with the tongs), which proved to be a very entertaining sport. Grabbing coals and flinging them as far as they could go. This resulted in a nice shower of spark on launch and a satisfying explosion of sparks upon hitting the nearest obstruction, in this case, trees.
We also tried bottle tossing as an experiment and discovered that although real life bottles are harder to break than in the movies (ha-ha), they shatter with a satisfying explosion of glass, just like in the movies. =D
* - Well about the demonic insect manifestations, it goes like this. It's the 7th of June 06. (Yes the previous night was 06/06/06, I'm not lying) Imagine you wake up on the sofa. You stare blearily around for a moment. Something's wrong. Very wrong. But you can't tell what. You fumble for your spectacles and put them on. Then you see it. Thousands, if not millions of brown bug wings SCATTERED all over the floor of the entire house. Some gently swirl about, driven by a breeze. It is like an autumn from hell. That is what I saw.
I awoke to find the floor was covered with a light scattering of wings. Insect wings to be exact. If hell had winter, this must be its snow. And not just one area. The ENTIRE first floor of the house was covered with bug wings, and what's worse, some still had bugs attached. Most were dead but some were struggling feebly when I awoke, and some were being torn apart literally by ants. Not a single one was shorter than 2cm in length. Some of them, wingless, crawled weakly about on the floor.
It was as if some mysterious force has commanded an entire swarm/nest of these bugs to fly into our house and commit suicide.
Weird Parts:
1. None of the bugs landed on us. With so many flying around and dying, we were unscathed. This may be explained by the bugs detecting we were living things too. But try and explain the next part.
2. This mass bug suicide was unseen and unheard, by anyone. Did they fly in at once in a swarm? Or did they come in a few at a time to die and shed their wings? No idea. They entered so conveniently that EVERYONE in the house was sleeping and could take no notice? Coincidence 1. (If I was awake, I definitely WOULD have filmed it. National Geographic material. =D)
3.Occurring on the night of 06/06/06. This of course might be pure coincidence and a milking of it, but this interesting date gives you something to think about, no? Oh well, it was an interesting night whatsoever.
